Sun 26th December

What a difference a day makes, the temperature has risen a few degrees, net result is that most of the snow has gone, but no doubt some folk will now have problems with burst water pipes, whereas before they simply had no water because it was frozen!

Last night between going out and returning home from Bruichladdich, via Gruinart and Coull, we saw 8 different Owls on our travels, 5 Barn Owls and 3 Tawny Owls. The Barn Owls were all separate birds, but there were 2 Tawny Owls together on a telegraph pole and the another one later on. I doubt if any will seen this evening as it is now raining!
